Novara has been a complete game changer as a return man. He has returned multiple punts for touchdowns this season. He has excellent speed and is a threat to take it the distance every time he gets the ball in his hands. Dexter plays him mostly in the slot and he does a great job of getting open quickly. I love the way he immediately turns up field to pick up yardage. Coming into this season Dexter was going to need young players to step up and make plays. Novara has certainly been that guy for Dexter. Dexter got off to a tough start this season but has bounced back. Novara will play a key part in this team continuing their success.
Isaiah Harris Isaiah Harris 6'2" | 205 lbs | DL Saline | 2026 State MI | DE/OLD | Saline | Hudl
Harris looks even faster and stronger now in his sophomore season. He really excels coming off the edge in 2-point stance. He had a good game in the win against Monroe. Harris is does an outstanding job of pursuing ball carriers and he is a good-sure tackler. He does a good job of taking on blockers and certainly can hold the point of attack. Saline needed to improve defensively this year. Now with Harris becoming dominant on defense, Saline has everything in place to continue to win and compete for a state title.
Ronny Johnson Ronny Johnson 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Dexter | 2025 State MI | RB | Dexter | Hudl
Johnson has been a key part to the Dexter running game. He was very good in the game I watched him play. He runs hard and bursts through holes very effectively. He is strong at finishing runs at the goaline for touchdowns. Running the football is a key part in having offensive success. Having a guy like Ronny Johnson Ronny Johnson 5'10" | 180 lbs | RB Dexter | 2025 State MI will be key to Dexter running the ball well and controlling the clock.
Caid Fox Caid Fox 6'0" | 175 lbs | WR Saline | 2024 State MI | WR | Saline
Fox was a guy who I had on my radar heading into this season. He played really good football for Saline last year, especially down the stretch of the season. I love the way he competes to get open. He is a good route runner who shows good speed & acceleration. He had a huge game in the win over Monroe. I expect him to keep being one of the main receiving targets for this Saline offense.
Elijah Easley | RB/LB | Ann Arbor Huron | Hudl
Easley has outstanding burst and it helps him to fly in the back field and disrupt opposing offenses plays. He is an outstanding tackler who really makes opponents pay for trying to run towards him. Easley is a great running back as well who does a great job of breaking tackles. He runs hard and shows good strength and power in his game. Easley has been very good this season and is a true difference maker on both sides of the ball for Ann Abro Huron. I look forward to seeing how he performs the rest of this season. His team takes on Saline tonight and Easley having a big game would be critical in them coming away with a win.
